Merry Xmas everybody,

Sorry I ran out of hours to get the release done, But someone mentioned a pre alpha, And I thought why not.
It's 11:50 PM xmas eve now been working on this since 6 this morning.
(wife not happy about that, Had to sneek back on to post this, lol)
I tried

Anyway,

This is a "Super pre pre Alpha" version (like when a new version of windows rolls out ) of MP Display 2
(still named MPTouch).

It has no config screen yet so you have to edit the MPTouch.xml (I left comments in there to assist)
UMMM.. Plugin goes in plugins\process folder
MPTouch folder goes in MP config folder (X:\programdata\team mediaportal\mediaportal)
Two skins i think (sorry guys im a wee bit drunk)

Good luck and merry xmas

Great - something to do on christmas
THX!!!!

first test - i love it...

it seem's to be highly customizable - thats what i need.

It's the first time that i even think on skinning so i am not shure if i did something wrong or if it's just because of pre-Alpha and will be fixed in later realeses...

it seems that the skins are fixed on 1280x720 and ignores the resolution-settings in the xml until now, right?

and a skinning question - how i can set a label to the right corner if this label can have different length? For example - if i want to set the date always to the right corner... it looks great in Dezember but bad in Juli with the "blanks" on the right.

The skins are, by now, fixed to the default 1280x720 resolution.

<entry name="PosX">1143</entry> <-- PosX, PosY Position on the screen (upper left corner of the textfield)
<entry name="PosY">589</entry>
<entry name="Width">175</entry> <-- changing this, longer text could be used, but be aware that two textfields cannot overlap
<entry name="Height">52</entry>
<entry name="FontSize">42</entry>
<entry name="TextAlign">Right</entry> <-- nothing to say about...
<entry name="Label-WinID-Global">#date</entry>

As Sa_ddam said: prepreprepreAlpha... There's still lot work to do, basically for him.

Merry X-Mas,

AW: MPTouch - Mediaportal TouchScreen Plugin

great, thank you.

i think in the first step the plugin provides 80% of the funktion i need. Primary i use the second screen for providing information. as far as i can see there is every important information available.
thank you both for your hard work. the pre pre alpha customizeable is a big big step.

Some more questions.. hope you can help me again.

1. Alignement

Works fine for Time - but i got some right-blanks with Date. Just a Bug or am i too stupid?

<section name="Control57">
<entry name="Type">Label</entry>
<entry name="Description">Date</entry>
<entry name="PosX">480</entry>
<entry name="PosY">0</entry>
<entry name="Width">800</entry>
<entry name="Height">84</entry>
<entry name="FontSize">80</entry>
<entry name="Alignement">Right</entry>
<entry name="Label-WinID-Global">#date</entry>
<entry name="Visible">True</entry>
</section>
<section name="Control58">
<entry name="Type">Label</entry>
<entry name="Description">Time</entry>
<entry name="PosX">1080</entry>
<entry name="PosY">84</entry>
<entry name="Width">200</entry>
<entry name="Height">84</entry>
<entry name="FontSize">80</entry>
<entry name="Alignement">Right</entry>
<entry name="Label-WinID-Global">#time</entry>
<entry name="Visible">True</entry>
</section>

2. TV-Progress Bar
Die Bar only shows the Progress of Timeshifting. Is it possible to show the progress of the actual tv-show?

3. Global
Can i use every funktion which is provided by MP, MovingPictures or StreamedMP or must it programmed? For example getting fanart-pictures or something else...

1. I don't know what you mean by "Right-Blanks"? (Could be better if you write me a PM in German... )
   
2. It has to be coded by sa_ddam. We just forgott that before. I told him 3-4 days ago. This is one thing that will be available in the real Alpha Release.
   
3. That depends on the Skin you use. For example: You can use the function
   
   #TVSeries.Series.Pretty_Name
   
   in PurevisionHD to show the Series Name, but it don't work in Blue3 or X-Factor (StreamedMP I haven't tried yet). Just figure out what is possible with the skin you use with MP.
   
   Things like fanart work "#TVSeries.Fanart.1" or "#MovingPictures.Backdrop", but the problem with this is, that only every second fanart will be shown when scrolling thru a list of movies. This is, why I said that we will try to implement Fanarts in future releases (speacially for the StreamedMP Skin).

Just a hint: You can use every function of Moving Pictures and every function of MP (have not tried all, but everything I tested works). Only TV Series makes some Problems as mentioned before.

1. be sure, i will next time - and with a screenshot
I think my problems are because of the fixed Resolution. I have a 800 x 480 Screen here and have some "strange results" wenn placing something to near to other objects. Or it is because pre-alpha but i think i can make some workaround until alpha

2. Ok, so i have to wait. Maybee Sa_dam has better things to do on christmas

3. Will try.

Thank you Wondermusic and fröhliche Weihnachten. Ich bin sicher ich nerve die Tage noch etwas rum ;-)

Re: AW: MPTouch - Mediaportal TouchScreen Plugin

I tried, but nothing happened. Using 1.1 RC1. Any more config information? What should happen after starting MP?

I've got the same problem, but no-one seems to have written a solution for this. I've tried installing the plugin, but nothing happens. It doesn't show up in my plugins screen and nothing seems to have changed. I'm trying to get version 1 running, not the pre alpha new one.

I've even tried to reïnstall MP hoping to get this working.

I'm running the latest version (1.1.2) on a machine with windows 7 64-bit inside a Silverstone GD02-MT, which has an 800x600 touch screen. If anyone has any suggestions...

Hi hasengrube,

i tested a bit for your needs.

Just set your Display to the original resolution (800x480) with CCC or the NVidia- Software.
You don't need to change the MPTouch.xml!

Than you have to position the Labels / Images for your used resolution (Example in the attached xml- file).
